// Also seen those hip double exposure pictures around? If you think that your Instax polaroid isn’t meant for that kind of fancy stuff, you’re wrong. It’s actually very easy to do!

I found the how-to at this blog. It discusses 2 methods of double exposing your picture, but I prefer the second one, which doesn’t need any dark bag / dark room or tape, just a quick hand gesture and you’re there.

1) Once your Instax is switched on, open it’s back, so you can reach the film cartridge.

2) Don’t take the cartridge out, but if you’re not sure about your speedy reflexes, you can hold the back already

3) Take your picture, and as soon as you’ve hit the button, tip the bottom of the film cartridge slightly out of the camera. This will stop the mechanism from driving your picture out & spreading the chemicals to develop, since it can’t reach the picture anymore. Don’t tip it out too much so there is no light caught on film without your intention (but after all, it’s lomography…). Don’t worry about opening up your Instax; everything on that side is designed in a way that it won’t get affected by light.

4) Take your second picture, or repeat the process above if you want more exposures, and for the last picture, just close the instax and use it like you normally would.

Tip: use for both pictures the “Darken”-function! Otherwise you might just get 2 overexposed images merged in a mess.

The only thing that is affected by this is the counter of your Instax. So try to remember how many frames you have left! After I’ve finished my cartridge, I’ll upload a youtube video to show you how it’s done. So stay tuned…
